New Signing - Someone is Alive in the Proact
#1
We just signed Liam Mandeville, released by Doncaster. It took me several goes to get on here so if I'm cross-posting apologies.

Mandeville made his first team debut for Doncaster Rovers on 3 April 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jonson Clarke-Harris in a home League One match against Bradford City at the Keepmoat Stadium. In November 2015, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Whitby Town on a one-month loan deal. Mandeville scored his first professional goal for Doncaster Rovers in a 2–1 defeat to Walsall at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Mandeville scored his first goal of the season in an EFL Cup game against Nottingham Forest which Rovers went onto lose 2–1. On 8 October 2016 Andy Williams was injured in a game v Barnet which gave Mandeville a chance in the first team. He started his goal scoring form with a goal against Oldham in the FA Cup which Rovers lost 2–1 again. Mandeville inspired Rovers to come from 1–0 behind to defeat Exeter 3–1. He got a goal and assist which led him to start against Hartlepool and he scored the winner in this game. He scored 2 more against Leyton Orient and another against Stevenage. Mandeville missed a late penalty against Plymouth in a 2–0 defeat. Plymouth's goalkeeper Luke McCormick mocked him which led to captain James Coppinger being sent off in the aftermath. He then scored from a free kick to earn Doncaster a win against Grimsby Town. This capped off the week that Mandeville won the EFL young player of the month.

On 31 January 2018, he joined League Two club Colchester United on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season. He made his Colchester debut from the bench on 10 February in their 1–1 draw at Carlisle United.

He was released by Doncaster at the end of the 2018–19 season.

Interesting signing. Does this mean no Boden Denton partnership up front? Only 22 yrs, things are looking up.

The club website really is awful. I know its close season but why the hell does the fact that a local Archery club have agreed to continue using the training ground for practice make club news?
Last season when it really mattered why the hell didn't they get them practicing at the same time the first team squad were training? We could have done with some of them putting out of their misery. The thought of half a dozen archers stood around the Proact during a game might improve performances no end.

Nothing is obviously what has been happening ........

Who are the guys in the archery picture?

Certainly hitting the target might be useful next season.

Morecambe and Doncaster reactions suggest Mandeville has plenty of talent, but is a bit Jay O'Shea in terms of application. Some suggestions he likes a drink ..... which should keep him in the team
